I honestly do not understand the hype. Since moving to Texas, I have tried Raising Cane's twice and have been unimpressed. Although the food was hot and the service great. The chicken is super bland. Unseasoned at its finest! ♀
So…this was was my first time at Canes. Tbh, had very high expectations. From the toast to the fingers I was hoping for a high class fast food experience. As this is a monumental step in my journey of adulthood I was hoping for it to be filled with joy, laughter, and diet Dr Pepper. And I will say, two of these things were achieved (NOT THE JOY ). As I entered the portal to chicken galore I was hoping to be greeted by a friendly grin…however expectations are just that: an expectation. Instead, a lady woman of non childbearing years had a mediocre attitude. And was very uninviting of me, a Northener, to her establishment, a chicken store in a southern town. I digress, her attitude towards me when I said I DID NOT WANT iced tea or lemonade was appalling. I am allergic to sugar, and I often phase allergophobic attitudes… but at other fast food establishments my needs are seen, understood, empathized, and most importantly met. with an unfriendly scowl, she rudely and insensitively asked “ BOTTLED WATER OR FOUNTAIN WATER” in the northern territories of the great US of A we don’t have fountain water. Anyhoo, this experience was both delicious and disheartening. While I may return (TBD) I hope we can reflect on this experience as a learning moment. Perhaps Canes may now fund an allergy awareness campaign ( also what happens if you’re allergic to chicken… in todays economy NO VEGAN OPTIONS???? ) while I’m not vegan, I wish my counterparts that are would receive such food as well. Goodbye for now, see you on the flip side. Vegetarian options: None
